Either that, or he meant to convey that my writing has set such impossibly high expectations that he sometimes feels let down when I write short, pithy comments.

Talking of high standards of writing I wonder what happened to The Red Cognoscente and Stretty?

In Sat Nav's defence, I think he meant it as a joke this time.

He’s better than that

Please tell me you didn't miss Stretty's (under a different username) absolute whopper just a couple of days ago??

If you missed Stretty's ban the other day it's well worth a read. Some of his absolute finest work.

I think I understand what you're implying, and it's true that I never recall them being on the same thread at the same time.

Im old enough to remember when the worst thing our players did was feed poor children
----------------------------------------------------------------------
With poisoned meat
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yes. They all shopped at Edwards Butchers and made stews with the meat they bought and went into all the MEC schools the next day and force fed all the kids with it.

I was joking about Stretty by the way! I did see some of the 'user name one' comments. Just need to find the thread now to read it all.

It's genuinely amazing. RR, do yourself a favour and don't skip any parts. It turns into one of the most bizarre exchanges I've ever seen on this forum. You'd never imagine in a million years the paper he cites as evidence for his racist claim.

His ability as a player has no bearing on my views on this. It could be Fernandes, Rashford etc and I'd still not want them at United if they beat up their wives.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I wish others on here could be as honest and as consistent as you are, Diafol.

Thanks bloodred. I'm literally rubbing my hands together in anticipation.

I read it but did Stretty change his name three times during the exchange or set up three new accounts?

New accounts each time he was banned. 3 accounts/bans in total.

Surely that’s enough for him to be grounded now? Sent to the basement without dinner..

Unlike the Greenwood case, to me, Antony situation is similar to Thomas Partey at Arsenal.
I don't see everybody find it is a big problem last season when he was starting every game for them.

...well, I'm back. What can I say? The masterful shifts in narrative pacing. The plot twist on page 9. The digression into the genre of academic literature. The satisfying epilogue where we're introduced to a new character - rio's 80's suit - who serves to reflect, almost elegiacally, on the tale that is now drawing to its end. All I can say is that reality seems grey after leaving that wonderful fiction. Stretty out.

I will also admit I'd be more gutted if it were a more important player for the team but my views on whether they should stay/go would be the same I'd like to think.

Re: Stretty is a racist : A story in three parts.
I imagine that was not a great day for Admin, he had to put his Margarita down three times in the space of a couple of hours.

...sorry, four times including the post removal.
